The iPhone maker can celebrate a boost to its market share in the fastest evolving market in the world. Samsung, however, has the lead according to the latest Canalys report.
In the first quarter of this year, Apple accounted for a 19 per cent market share, following closely behind Samsung's 22 per cent. Nicole Peng, Canalys Research Director for China, has found two reasons for Apple's rapid growth in the last three months: the Lunar New Year, which means a holiday shopping frenzy in China, and the iPhone's availability on the two top Chinese carriers.
